Re: Jazz

I don't remember that. We possess the same self-deprecating sense of humour, so I 'get her'. She played Glad Rag Doll, for all of the women who work so hard in chorus lines. Harder work, she said, than she's had to do, as she is a feminist.

When someone asked her to play an Elvis song, she said that she would, just as soon as one of Costello's fans asked him to play one of her tunes.

She joked about having her children in a "Rich Hippie School" in NYC, and her humble roots, and on heritage day she sent her kids with a ukulele, because that was her first instrument. Cheap and portable. And, she could fill the bathtub with gin, sing and play the ukulele, while having a dirty martini. All that, without fear of dropping a radio, in the tub.


What I do remember her playing, and I have recorded, but the quality isn't that good, is an 8 minute version of Tom Waits' "Temptation". Costello's influence on her music IS undeniable. It was an awesome show.
